Kim Davis Ordered to Pay Additional $260,000 in Legal Fees to Same-Sex Couple

The former Kentucky county clerk, who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, faces further financial penalties on top of a previous $100,000 damages award.

Kim Davis, the former county clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay an additional $260,104 in attorney fees and expenses to the couple she denied.
This new award is in addition to a $100,000 in damages that a jury ordered her to pay to the couple in September.
Davis was briefly jailed in 2015 for her refusal, which she based on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
Davis was released only after her staff issued the licenses on her behalf but removed her name from the form.
Attorneys for Davis are expected to appeal the ruling.
